In volume 26, chapter 2 of this children's manga (also known as Mysterious Joker) the title character is turned into a werewolf.
The chapter opens with the characters watching a werewolf film:
Later on Joker battles one his enemies, who zaps him with ray that induces lycanthropy. Joker transforms under the full moon and goes home to attack his friends:
The bad guy sends a video that explains Joker will at first transform into a cute dog, but with each later transformation he will grow more bestial and eventually turn into a vicious werewolf and kill his friends:
Joker gets a little more beastly and tries to attack a friend before changing back:
During the subsequent full moon he finally becomes a proper werewolf:
By the way: Kaitou Joker later became an anime, but it ended before the werewolf story could be adapted. Afterward a bonus was created for fans: a pretend-trailer for the never-made fifth season. Very brief scenes from the anime were animated, including a couple from the werewolf chapter. I've cued the video to the (disappointing) transformation scene (at 2:50):
There's also a glimpse of Joker's full werewolf form at 04:15.

It used to be available at https://www.corocoro.jp/episode/2550912964479870138 as part of the reprint series, but is now under the paywall. It's never been translated and I couldn't find any raws. You'll probably have to purchase it from a Japanese e-manga site.
Which episode was it in the anime version?
It was never an episode. The show ended before the werewolf story could be adapted. However, as a bonus for the fans, the show's staff animated a short clip that pretended to be a trailer for the never-made fifth season. Very brief scenes from the werewolf story were animated for the pretend-trailer.
